Cash or insurance?
At 4 of 5 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
This blood test measures the exact level of hCG, the hormone made during pregnancy. It is used to confirm early pregnancy, to follow how the level changes over a few days, and to check for problems such as a possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
What the price covers
The price usually covers one hCG measurement. The blood draw is often billed separately, and each repeat test is a separate charge.
